The Academy’s Only Monster Summoner - Chapter 101



101 – Friendly sparring (1)

I am not very good at speaking.

So Iron Rice Bucket added additional explanations to my explanation to help people understand.

It’s already been an hour like that.

People who looked at me in disbelief at first began to nod their heads one by one and accept the truth.

Instructors Tak Jae-hwan and Baek So-ah were quick to accept it. They seemed to think I had no reason to lie, so they just listened in silence. Maybe it’s because of the artificial fondness they feel for me.

In contrast, instructor Yumi Han constantly asked many questions. It was not because I had many doubts, but because what I was saying was difficult to accept.

And that was a normal reaction.

‘Just looking at the difference in reactions from other people, it is clear that Instructor Han Yu-mi did not receive any intervention from the writer.’

Instructor Yumi Han had an extremely ordinary perception of me.

As it is a priest-priest relationship.

He seemed to have a certain level of affection, but not as much as other people.

I took my gaze away from Instructor Han Yumi and looked around at the rest of the people who were organizing her thoughts.

‘Now that I know the truth… It’s more than just excessive, it’s like a fanatical god.’

Except for Kim Young-ji, who did not receive any intervention from the author, all of them were people who quickly developed feelings for me.

‘Baek So-ah has a tendency to protect me to the point of being burdensome…’

Baek So-ah and I made eye contact. Their gazes briefly crossed, and Baek So-ah smiled slightly at her.

Baek So-ah always had a dissatisfied expression on her face, but she only put that expression away and smiled brightly when she faced me.

I felt a little bitter because I felt like that smile was a fake smile born from false emotions.

I awkwardly avoided Baek So-ah’s gaze and then looked at Seo Han-bit and Cha Yu-ra. So as not to make eye contact again, so as not to be noticed.

‘Seo Hanbit saved her once and immediately she started to become very obsessed with me. It didn’t take long for Cha Yu-ra to develop feelings for me after making contact with me.’

No matter what, Cha Yu-ra.

Seo Han-bit was a person who hated my very existence and hated even talking to me.

However, in an instant, my emotions reversed.

It was almost as if he had changed from an enemy of Cheolcheon to a benefactor who saved his life.

It was a change that could never happen in a short period of time.

If only I had noticed a little sooner.

You could have known that it was a contrived attitude.

‘But why did you hate me so much? ‘There are a lot of idiots other than me.’

I thought about it for a moment.

And there was only one answer.

It was in a similar context to the case where the writer Moohyung took measures to make the people around him feel extreme affection towards me, the ‘main character’.

When Kim Soo-han was still recognized as the main character of this world. Kim Soo-han must have received the same protagonist buff as me. But it was clear she didn’t stop there.

‘Kim Soo-han is a writer with substance, so he must have had more power. She was even able to bestow the protection of Mouton.’

Academy’s best men.

In other words, they must have taken care not to leave room for characters like me as heroines. To prevent unfortunate incidents such as NTR’s inhumane acts from occurring.

‘Most of the male students at the academy are objectively good-looking, so it’s worth taking such a measure.’

Kim Soo-han also seems handsome to me…

If you listen to the women around you.

It’s an award that’s only popular with men, and women say it’s a bit of a burden.

Anyway, it’s just a prediction, but I think some of the male students at the academy have been manipulated into feeling extremely unfavorable towards the heroines even if they do something that is slightly out of sight. Because the national rule of harem dramas is that heroines do not even look at men who are not the main characters.

‘If you look back on what Seo Han-bit did to me, it seems like a perfect guess.’

Not long after being possessed.

After sparring with the idiot Yeol, Seo Han-bit started a fight with her as if he didn’t like me. Even her actions were likely influenced by the author.

‘I guess it’s because of the writer that my dislike of myself gradually subsided… In the end…’

If only the intangible writer had not intervened.

The women here right now wouldn’t have paid me the slightest attention.

‘In particular, I wasn’t at the stage where I felt a rational attraction to Kim Soo-han, so there wouldn’t have been any emotional clashes inside.’

Kim Soo-han was a person who did not do anything to please others. So, even though she is receiving a favorability buff, the heroines’ favorability rating for her did not increase quickly. Still, Park Soo-min and Lee Yu-na seem to have quickly fallen in love with Kim Soo-han.

‘Even that reason is because I hate Kim Soo-han now…. ‘It’s scary that human emotions can be manipulated so easily.’

Then, a thought about Lee Yu-na, my childhood friend, passed by for a moment.

‘Hmm. Then, was Lee Yu-na’s dislike of me also influenced by the author?’

······Of course, my behavior itself was trash, so I think they would have hated it even if there had been no intervention from the author.

Anyway, since we are now strangers, I quickly withdrew my thoughts about Lee Yu-na.

I looked at instructor Tak Jae-hwan one last time.

‘Even though Instructor Tak Jae-hwan is a man, he probably made me feel attractive in order to give me the role of a helper…?’

It would be unnatural to conclude that it was just gambling addiction caused by impulse control disorder.

Honestly, I don’t think I stood out that much in the early days of Possession. Nevertheless, instructor Tak Jae-hwan approached me first and supported my growth both materially and spiritually. In the end, it was all the situation the author intended.

The feeling of life being played by someone.

It was more than uncomfortable, it was unpleasant and disgusting.

I felt a sense of disappointment when I heard that the human relationships I had just built were actually the result of the author.

‘Whoa. I’m so confused, what do other people think…’

At that time I was thinking like that.

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan spoke cautiously, as if he could sense the concern on my face. It seemed like he had finished organizing his thoughts.

“Lee Hyeon-seong.”

“···Yes.”

“Don’t worry. Even if my feelings for you disappear, that doesn’t mean the memories we had together will disappear.”

You can say that now, though.

No one knew what the future would hold.

In the letter sent by Future Iron Rice Bucket, it was written that I did not know how people’s attitudes changed because I took the hated medicine immediately after the ending.

As I smiled bitterly, Instructor Tak Jae-hwan spoke again.

“And even if we were manipulated into feeling extreme attraction to you, know that it was just a quick build-up that should have been slow. “If your actions weren’t actions that drew our attention, wouldn’t we have liked you?”

Kim Young-ji also supported Instructor Tak Jae-hwan’s words.

“Instructor Tak Jae-hwan’s words are also correct. Hyunseong, the trigger was triggered because you did something that would win people’s favor. “If you kept acting like an asshole, no one would be interested in you, right?”

Afterwards, Baek So-ah, Seo Han-bit, and Cha Yu-ra each offered a word of consolation.

“I will maintain my heart with evil and evil, so hold on to your worries.”

“Me too! “The human mind is no joke and cannot change in an instant!”

“······I developed a crush on you more slowly than other kids, so maybe I wasn’t manipulated.”

Even though I heard those words now, it didn’t really comfort me.

So I decided to postpone thinking about this matter.

What would be the point of worrying from now on?

Anyway, you will naturally find out what happens when you go there.

But still…

First of all, I made it clear that I didn’t use skills like charm or fascination, so at least I won’t be hated. Unless you take an artifact that is a hated drug or something.

Afterwards, we set up a plan to attack Liberation, and on top of that, we turned the topic to talk about the friendly sparring that would take place the next day.

***

The day of friendly sparring.

We got ready early in the morning and headed to the Daehan Academy.

No one was nervous.

Because friendly sparring is just a minor, passing event.

For reference, the day before yesterday, the Korea Academy unilaterally notified that it would change the friendly sparring method.

Elimination tag match.

Five students form a team.

This is a method in which one person from each team participates and spars.

So, after the one-on-one sparring, the winning side would remain in the sparring room, and the losing side would be the next student in the lineup to compete.

The promise that three people would participate and spar one-on-one only against a designated opponent was changed on their own.

‘Above all, there are only two of us healers, so do you have no conscience to ask all five of us to compete?’

I guess they really wanted to beat us.

What… It’s annoying, but it’s not really a problem. All I have to do is take the lead and knock out all five of them.

Of course, if Kim Soo-han plays, it will be a little difficult.

Kebi’s Illusion Because I plan to hide the white tiger until I deal with the leader of Liberation.

However, Kim Soo-han took measures in advance.

‘She has nothing to gain by competing here.’

If Kim Soo-han loses to me in this sparring, not only will her academy ranking be affected, but other students’ bullying will change from indirect to direct.

So, I gave him a dose of a medicine developed by Iron Rice Bowl.

‘I still wonder why it was developed, but it was useful, so it’s okay.’

Just as I was walking through the academy grounds, I heard a commotion from the officials who heard the news about Kim Soo-han.

“Wow, we’re in big trouble! “I don’t think Kim Soo-han will be able to compete in sparring!”

“What? Why all of a sudden?!”

“I’ve been training hard since last week to prepare for sparring, but this morning I suddenly fell asleep and don’t want to get up!”

“What kind of bullsh*t is that!? “You can wake me up by hitting me!”

“Even if I hit it with a hammer, it won’t wake up, what should I do? “We are currently transporting you to the hospital because we believe you may have contracted an unknown disease!”

The faces of the Korean Academy officials were covered with contemplation.

What was fed to Kim Soo-han was a sleeping pill artifact.

It was an artifact with a powerful sleeping effect that would never wake you up for 24 hours when taken.
